[RECOVERY][Huawei P7][Unofficial TWRP Recovery 3.0.3-0]

Hi everyone.
Here's my build of TWRP 3.0.3-0 for Huawei P7.
Features:
Supports USB OTG, so you can use USB flash drive as external storage for backups, zip installations.
Added feature to make backup/restore of internal storage.
Added feature to make backup/restore of oeminfo partition. This partition contains info about vendor and current installed version. So in case if you want to rollback to 4.4.2, for example, or revert back your previous vendor version, you can just restore oeminfo from backup with 4.4.2 version or other vendor and flash appropriate firmware without flashing transition package, vendor and without getting "cust fail" error.
Combined with stock EMUI 3.1 recovery. In case of power-on by holding power + vol+ or rebooting into recovery by command or any 3rd party application: will boot in TWRP. In case of local update, OTA-update, factory reset from menu or "force update" (3buttons method): will boot into EMUI recovery. Thus you don't have to flash stock recovery before OTA-update, flashing official firmware or doing factory rest.
Off-mode charger updated from EMUI 3.1 (for 4.4.2)
custom.bin and cust symlinks are saved/restored (if they were exist) in case of Wipe/Format Data. So there is not gonna be "cust" issues after factory reset in TWRP.
Excluded SuperSU from build.
Enabled encrypted data support.
Screen lock by power button replaced with screen off.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
Android 4.4.2 - 5.1.1
Installation:
Reboot in fastboot mode
Flash image via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_P7-3.0.3-0.img
fastboot reboot
From TWRP: Press "Install" and select zip-archive
Notes:
Because internal storage is not a separate block device and just a subfolder of "userdata" partition, before you can make backup/restore of internal storage, first you should do Mount -> Data.

I can't tell you for sure about backups made by araca's 2.8.7.0 - I don't know his partition layouts and backup naming method, but if you were using my build of 2.8.7.0, then yes, you can.
Anyway, it's better to make a new backup, for any case...

Thanks . works great on my p7 especially the factory reset with cust .
can you explain how i can build similar twrp for the mate S . your help will be much appreciated

Hi !
Whenever I use 3buttons method my phone goes to EMUI recovery ,
Whenever I use 3rd party application my phone goes to TWRP recovery !
There is no update file on my storage so in both cases my phone should go to TWRP recovery ! What is the problem ? Please solve this !

What do you mean by similar?
You'll have to make device tree to build TWRP. Mate S is much different from P7, so I think I couldn't help you with it.

There is not any problem. 3 buttons method is used for "force update". If you want to boot into TWRP, use "power" + "vol+" instead of 3 buttons. Read the first post attentively!

@Kostyan_nsk_one question, why if internal storage is a subfolder of user data in recovery the size of internal storage partition is bigger of data partition?

TWRP excludes /data/share folder from backup of /data folder. Thus, if you have a lot of photos, music, etc in your internal storage, its backup size will be greater than size of /data backup.

Well, thus if I want to do a nandroid backup I have to check data and internal storage, not only data partition because of default it's not selected internal memory

It's not mandatoryly for nandroid backup. Depends on what kind of data you want to save. /data contains user applications and system settings; /data/share (i.e. internal storage) contains your personal data (screenshots, photos, music, videos, etc) if you didn't moved them to sd-card. It's up to you, what to backup and what not.

@Kostyan_nsk I appreciate your work. I have already built TWRP for my Huawei device but I am struggling to fix custom.bin and /data/cust symlink being destroyed after factory reset. I have placed the necessary code in partitions.cpp under Wipe partition block. Can you tell me which method you used to fix this?

@Kostyan_nsk When I do a backup in the internal memory then via es file Explorer goes into TWRP folder in sdcard0 (internal memory) it is empty, and if I go into the folder media / share / 0 / TWRP I find the backup. They are not the same thing? While if I do backup in the external sdcard its all ok.

[Solved] Error while flashing Katkiss from CWM v6.0.5.0

Dear friends I need help!
I've tried to flash my tablet but I've got an error message while flashing Katkiss 6.0
What I did:
downloaded Rom.(md5sum is OK)
my bootloader is ww_epad-11.4.1.17-20140711
recovery CWM v6.0.5.0
previous rom zoombi pop
/format data
wipe data factory reset
install zip from sd card. (from internal storage or micro sd card)
And I have got the following error (in attachement)
Please help, my tablet boot only recovery now.
Thanks in advance for the help

trying to boot in fastboot mode when children let me try that...
Edit: fastboot ok.
I placed the the files
KatKiss-6.0_TF701T_033.zip
open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20170120.zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
In
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot

ok I don't know how to proceed now.
Seems I cannot change the recovery from CMW to TWRP,
My bootloader is 11.4.1.17 and the tutorial to install TWRP says in capital red:
MUST BE ON A BOOTLOADER 11.4.1.27, 11.4.1.29 or 11.4.1.30
So how can I do?
I there a way to upgrade the bootloader to be able to install TWRP?
Or should I Flash the custom rom from fastboot?
My TF701 in not booting anymore.... only bootloader and recovery CMW
the positive thing is :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot devices
15C3E10090400000011FA8580 fastboot
Please help

I have been able to flash CROMI X (unfortunately with strong battery drain) so CMW is able to flash but for some reasons not Katkiss 6.0.
I have been told that my problem is not ROM related... So it is recovery related?
What is the better option to get katkiss on my tablet? Flash the recovery to get TWRP even if my bootloader is 11.4.1.17 and the tutorial to install TWRP says in capital red:
MUST BE ON A BOOTLOADER 11.4.1.27, 11.4.1.29 or 11.4.1.30????
There is a technical reason about this warning?
Edit: I found this on an old post:
You can try this:
Download the stock recovery from here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3210
Copy the image to your fastboot folder.
Download the Asus firmware, unzip the file once and copy it to your internal SD.
Boot tablet into fastboot
Issue this command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Note: Do not flash the recovery, just boot it.
It should recognize the firmware file on your tablet and flash it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Would this method work to get the latest stock rom from Asus?

Got your PM and will try to find some time at work today. Hang in there and don't do anything to make it worse

Ok, work was crazy busy so it took a bit longer.
If you flash a recovery that is incompatible with the bootloader nothing happens. Until you use the recovery... That could permanently brick the tablet. So heed the warnings, they are there for a reason.
Ok, let's try to get you on the latest bootloader. It's no suprise at all that nothing boots if you try to flash a Android 6 rom on an Android 4 bootloader....
Download either WW or US package from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61045480&postcount=2
That zip contains the latest bootloader and a compatible TWRP recovery. Flash the zip in your current recovery just like any rom, then reboot.
When you flash a bootloader or recovery you actually write those files to the staging partition. On the next boot the bootloader will unpack it and write everything to it's proper place.
So it's essential that you flash, then reboot. Does not matter that the boot does not go anywhere. The first part, flashing the contents of /staging to it's partition(s), will happen anyway.
You should see a brief blue bar filling up when that happens. It does not take long.
Boot back into fastboot and check your bootloader version.
Enter recovery through RCK and that should be TWRP now.
Then format /data. Do not wipe it, format it. Do not interrupt it. Wait for it to finish even if it takes an hour (a full battery is a must before you start this). The format command is under the Wipe menu.
Unfortunately the formatting in this kanged TWRP is pretty buggy, but I still like it better than CWM.... If you get lots of error messages after the format (cannot mount this, cannot mount that) go into Wipe > Advanced > select Data > Change or repair file system > Change file system > choose ext3 and execute
Note: The button you have to swipe is pretty "sticky". Swipe it slowly and fully
Reboot to recovery
Go back into Wipe > Advanced etc and change the file system back to ext4
Reboot to recovery
Now everything should be ok, try to mount/unmount data.
Finally you are ready to flash Katkiss
If the bootloader flash does not work, we can try to flash Asus firmware in fastboot, but try the above first.

Thanks a lot to take time to help me.
Will try that tonight and I'll let you know the result.

Thanks a lot!
It was just like you said.
I had to format to ext3 and ext4 because I had errors.
Battery seems to be very good. Just the screen display is very white, needs color saturation and contrast I guess...
Thanks again you save my tablet.

Now that's what I like to read! :cyclops:

[DEV] Flashing and Rooting Phone, Development project

All the thanks goes to @Peak.Krittin [Dev].
MIUI Forum link to this thread :-
http://en.miui.com/thread-3584490-1-1.html
Greeting , MIUIers
This thread is divided into 2 part
- Flashing TWRP & ROOT (& INSTALL XIAOMI.EU)
- My active development project for Redmi S2/Y2 (YSL)
Today , I will be showing you how to flash TWRP and root the Xiaomi Redmi S2/Y2 (YSL)
I took time to make this and sure that it is noob friendly.
You can not blame anyone if you bricked your phone, It's all your own fault. Please done it with caution.
People who do not know what they are doing right now please leave this thread alone.
!!! Unlocking & Rooting phone will lost your warranty !!!
(Re-locking & flashing full rom by fastboot should give your warranty back)
Requirements :
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Workable Brain
- Common Sense
- TWRP
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kW_j-iQDDPHnt8cWkcogtKR7iM--8Yhh/view
- Magisk
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.4/Magisk-v16.4.zip
- ADB & FASTBOOT
- ADB & FASTBOOT DRIVER
- Xiaomi.eu Rom (Optional)
https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-rom-releases.103/
Note:- You can flash it on any miui rom.It is safe to flash.
and for boot into recovery wiping of data not needed.
but if you flash ( I said flashing) on xiaomi.eu MIUI roms then to decrypt internel data you have to click on wipe data and then it will ask you something you have to simply write "yes" and then your internel data will be decrypted and you can see all the files of internel data in twrp.( Decryption of internel storage is only supported by xiaomi.eu roms )
But if you flash it on any other MIUI rom then it will not decrypt your internel storage (So no need to wipe data). To flash any .zip or .img file you have to put that file in your sdcard so that you will flash it through twrp.
And note that if you only boot into twrp then you dont have to wipe data but you have to put your flashable files in the sdcard.TWRP will not be there once you reboot.It only will be seen when you again boot into twrp through cmd.and you will get ota update as well if you only boot into twrp because when once you reboot your phone you will get your stock recovery not twrp.
I am again saying booting and flashing are two different things.
!!! UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER REQUIRED !!!
Let get start,
Copy the twrp file into your ADB&Fastboot folder.
First of all , Prepare your phone in fastboot by
- Power + Volume Down
- adb reboot fastboot
Then type "fastboot devices"
It should return something.. (Your phone)
If it didn't ( Please go read #1 Solution in the end of the thread
After that, type
"fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-ysl.img"
If you want to temporarily boot twrp
or type
"fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-ysl.img"
If you want to flash recovery.
Then, You should see your phone entering TWRP
You will be prompted
"Please enter password to decrypt your phone"
(Please read solution #2 at the end of the thread to permanently disable encryption)
Don't enter password....
Click cancel then go to wipe
Then "Slide to wipe" ( If there are errors please go read #3 Solution in the end of the thread )
Then advanced wipe and wipe Internal Storage
After that, click "Install" then click "select storage"
and select External Storage / SD Card and click
"Magisk.zip" and "Install This ZIP" wait until the installation finish then click "Reboot Device"
Congratulations, You have rooted your phone
Solution Part :
#1 : My device is not founded in fastboot...
Answer : Did you even unlock your bootloader...
#2 : Permanently disable encryption
Answer : Please make sure that you done rooting your phone then flash xiaomi.eu rom before flash please wipe all of your partition except EXTERNAL STORAGE (SD CARD) then flash Magisk.zip again
What is xiaomi.eu rom?
It is a modded miui rom based on CHINA and have OTA update supported... Also, It disable encryption
#3 : Can't format
Answer : Please reboot your phone into fastboot and start the process again...

nice guide
I just unlocked bootloader and try to instal twrp and i found something wrong

is wiping internal storage needed? for what?

brother first of all sorry for broken whatsapp group link
now coming to your issue
brother if you only want to reboot into twrp recovery then use this command :-
fastboot boot twrpname.img
and if you want to flash it :-
fastboot flash recovery twrpname.img
if you have xiaomi.eu MIUI rom then it is needed to wipe internel data or you can simply click on wipe data na then type yes .It will decrypt your internel storage only works in xiaomi.eu rom
and if you wipe data on other roms like golbal beta or stable then it will not decrypt your internel data .

if you have xiaomi.eu ...

ok I'm understand

Shiroyasha21 said:
ok finally I'm understand
at first booting to twrp it take time, ask password and log show "unable to decrypt blabla...." it was beacuse I'm on global right? and I can only flash .zip only from sdcard
so now I'm on eu rom then format data, and no more "unable to decrypt blabla...." is that mean I can flash .zip from Internal storage?

yes u r right but you have to wipe data first

What was exacrly your full firmware name and number (like EVA-L09c532b505 or what)
"TWRP" - which/where from?
(diff TWRP installations must be used for MM, N or N), and if TWRP from TWRP site - that one is definitely not good for N and O
"root" - by SuperSU, Magisk or something else (hopefully not King.... tools or so)
So, from which Huawei firmware did you start, which steps did you perform and by which tools
Btw, rooting N by SuperSU or O by Magisk is pretty straightforward, but is important that proper, corresponding TWRPs are used.
And if anything goes wrong (brick or so) stock Boot partition (N) or stock Ramdisk partition (O) can be easily flashed over to go back

I'm sorry for the poor description but I was in panic.
Starting from EVA-L09C432B3xx, don't remember the exact version, N 5.0.1
TWRP 3.1.0.-1
SuperSU, https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-supersu-2-81-emui-5-t3612258. I had big trouble trying to root because every time the phone rebooted before finishing the procedure.
I didn't use any tool at all for unlocking bootloader, flash recovery and root. Just adb and fastboot in cmd + TWRP.
BTW, I recovered the phone! Used DC-Phoenix to reset the phone from fastboot and then made a downgrade to b182.

PS: Why did you flash Cust?
For TWRP or to go back to stock Recovery, you only need to flash recovery (for N) or ramdisk_recovery (for O)
To flash root patch for SuperSU for N (or to restore back) you only need to flash boot partition, similarly for Magisk (O) ramdisk partution.

Because Multi-Tool 8 was asking to flash also CUST to apply unbrik procedure.
The problem was that I wasn't able to mount /data partition. Also from stock recovery I wasn't able to format /data, only wipe the cache

If you recovered and if you are on b182 now, you will hopefully receive OTA upgrades tp go back to N
Btw, working procedure for rooting N was described in thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-supersu-2-81-emui-5-t3612258
Again, if TWRP was not able to mount Data, was it really proper TWRP from XDA Huawei Nougat threads (adapred to support Huawei N and its encryption), like
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703
Some other TWRP 3.1.x.x, even declared for Huawei, maybe good for EMUI 4 / MM but not for EMUI 5 / N

EDIT: noticed that you fixed it through DC-Phoenix. Do you have a link where you found it and how to use? I don't mind downgrading coz I'm just gonna use the phone as a backup phone
I got the same issue. If you find an answer please tag me. I think i was using EVA-L19C636B180 Quite sure about the C636 part. TWRP 3.1.0.-3 and using SU but I can't recall the version
Quick background on mine:
I bricked my phone when I did a factory reset and deleted internal storage and accidentally deleted important files while doing so. I flashed a stock update from the warehouse and completely deleted the system instead. I then flashed Lineage ROM which reinstalled the system but now causes me to get stuck in bootup. When I installed Lineage ROM, I got the following error.

I didn't use the method posted by @zgfg. What I did was: (this procedure is going to lock back your FRP setting and bootloader, so you can try it but at your own risk)
Use Multi-Tool 8 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923) to reinstall stock recovery and recovery2
Download https://www.dc-unlocker.com/downloads/get/jvObBBIo
Put the phone in fastboot
Use the FRP Erase option to recover/format /data (it cost you 15 credit, $15), it was successful
Take empty SD card formatted in NFTS
Put in dload folder the rollback UPDATE.APP file taken from http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92765&siteCode=it and install it
Last, put in dload folder b182 UPDATE.APP file from http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91783&siteCode=it
This functioned for me, you can try to skip step 5 and install directly b182.

Will check out both methods. I'll try it through TWRP first since it should be easier to use an open bootloader rather than a locked one.
@bomba697 will reinstalling stock recovery fix my deleted system issue? coz I'm not sure if I flashed the custom ROM properly anymore

UPDATE:
Tried @bomba697 method and fixed my system but I skipped the FRP Erase portion. I just installed the stock recovery straight (thus not paying 15 credits) from the multi tool then rollback using dload then update to b182. Though it did change my system to C900 from C636.
Thank you very very much!!

[Guide] Installing Custom ROM on Honor Note 10 (EMUI 9)

This thread outlines the exact steps in installing a custom ROM on your Huawei Honor Note 10 device with either EMUI 8 or EMUI 9. You can install and run TWRP on both EMUI and or EMUI 9.
Make sure to follow this guide precisely, as order matters. At the end, I will post an explanation of why we need to execute these steps. I spent an entire weekend of trial and error on my Huawei Honor Note 10, and now I have figured out the ins and outs so you don't have to. You're welcome
Prerequisites
Huawei Honor Note 10 device, either on stock ROM or rooted (doesn't matter)
MicroSD card (formatted exFAT or FAT, doesn't matter)
Bootloader unlock code for Huawei Honor Note 10 (follows a format like my own HBP38K14DBK2RNB4)
Computer with admin privileges
Before You Flash Anything
Back up, back up, back up! I am not responsible if you lose valuable or sensitive data. Your Huawei Honor Note 10 will factory reset a number of times (probably more) before you can get back up and running again. Either use TWRP to do this, or use HiSuite (not recommended but will work on a locked bootloader).
Remove your SIM card! Your carrier may get charged ridiculous amounts of fees if you have a limited data plan, such as 256MB (Canada has notoriously expensive phone plans, so Canadians beware). When you reboot, expect Huawei's stock ROM to use copious amounts of data on retrieving the latest version of bloatware and spyware.
Ensure you have stock recovery installed. If you don't, download the stock recovery image, place it in your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder, then boot to download mode by holding the VOLUME DOWN button and simultaneously plug in in your Huawei Honor Note 10 device, then open Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your computer and run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
Steps to Install Custom ROM on Huawei Honor Note 10
Download the EMUI 9 stock ROM and place the dload folder on your MicroSD card
Boot to (stock) recovery by holding down the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN, and POWER buttons at the same time. The update should begin immediately. Wait patiently for your phone to reboot
Fill out the bloatware questionnaire by Huawei and download any and all updates under Settings. This will ensure you have the latest boot image. You will reboot at least once.
Once you have completed all the updates, reboot to download mode; press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button while you plug in your Huawei Honor Note 10 device to your computer
On your computer, download and open Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Run the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock <code>
(where code corresponds to a format that looks like this: HBP38K14DBK2RNB4)
Confirm unlocking your bootloader by using the VOLUME keys, selecting yes, and pressing the POWER button. The Huawei Honor Note 10 device will now perform a factory reset
IMPORTANT step. DO NOT let the Huawei Honor Note 10 reboot. DO NOT. Impatiently wait for the low-level factory reset to complete and as soon as it does, enter download mode again by pressing the VOLUME DOWN key and plugging in the device again
Flash this TWRP recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk HN10_Twrp.img
Reboot to recovery by holding the VOLUME UP and POWER buttons for over 5 seconds. You should see the TWRP logo, and it should boot up. It should boot up right away, so if TWRP hangs here on the TWRP logo, you need to skip back to step 2
IMPORTANT: wipe to factory reset. Wipe /system again via advanced wipe just to be safe
Install any custom ROM you wish via selecting a system image
IMPORTANT: disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt by installing this zip. If you don't do this, you won't be able to enter TWRP again
Optionally install magisk, titanium backup, and other magisk mods
Reboot system and profit
Update: 2021-04-06​
Reboot to recovery by holding the VOLUME UP and POWER buttons for over 5 seconds. This should boot you to stock RECOVERY.
Wipe to factory reset. Confirm by typing "yes" (WARNING: this wipes your device)
Plug in your Huawei Honor Note 10 to your PC with ADB
Boot to DOWNLOAD mode by holding down the VOLUME DOWN button as soon as your Huawei Honor Note 10 reboots
Flash this TWRP recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk HN10_Twrp.img
Reboot to recovery by holding the VOLUME UP and POWER buttons for over 5 seconds. You should see the TWRP logo, and it should boot up. It should boot up right away, so if TWRP hangs here on the TWRP logo, you need to skip back to step 2
Install any custom ROM you wish via selecting a system image (or zip file if you have EMUI 8)
Install magisk, titanium backup, and other magisk mods (note that you will NOT be able to boot to recovery after this; consider this you last chance to install any mods)
Reboot system and profit
Background and Explanation
When you first flash a ROM, even in EMUI 8, your Huawei Honor Note 10 encrypts /system to prevent third parties such as TWRP from mounting it. Hence, you may successfully boot to TWRP, but /system will be mounted as read-only. This is problematic, as it means you can't install any new ROMs (however, you can make a backup, which can be useful for backing up stock, encrypted /system partitions)
Because /system gets encrypted, it means you have to wipe /system completely. Doing a factory reset (low-level) does this, once you unlock your bootloader. However, if you were to let your Huawei Honor Note 10 boot, then the stock ROM would, by default, encrypt /system, forcing you to start this process all over again (as TWRP will, in most cases, not even boot with an encrypted /system). If your TWRP hangs on the TWRP logo, your /system partition is likely encrypted. You need to factory reset, install TWRP again, and then wipe /system, followed by installing the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_01.15.2020.zip script.
ROMs I Tested That Work (well)
Resurrection Remix 7 (openKirin)
I hope this guide helps other fellow Huawei Honor Note 10 owners. If you have any questions, please also make sure to include your EMUI version and steps taken so that I can best help you. I hope that I have saved some of you trouble when updating to EMUI 9 and also helped to explain why updating can become so tedious.

Thank you for the instructions! I've got some questions...

Yep, so it sounds like you have an encrypted /data.
Make sure you can safely wipe the entire device, then try the following in download mode:
Bash:
fastboot erase userdata
(Note: this will erase everything on /data)
Then boot to TWRP again. Check the logs and try again.

How do I wipe the entire device? I have done step 8 properly (get into fastboot immediately after low-level factory reset completes) and wiped system in TWRP, but still get the error messages.

That will wipe /data.
Since you can also boot to TWRP, then try wiping /system, cache, and dalvik (factory reset). If you can also wipe /data, then that might also work in TWRP, depending on which version you're using.

After reinstalling the stock ROM and unlock bootloader and flash TWRP again, I performed "fastboot erase system" and "fastboot erase userdata" in fastboot, then wiped Dalvik, cache, Cust, Data, system, Product and Version in TWRP. However, I am still getting the "Failed to mount '/odm' (Invalid argument)" error message
I can't wipe odm in TWRP since there is no such option, and I can't perform "fastboot erase odm" as it shows up an error message saying "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)". What should I do now?

If you roll back to stock and unlock your bootloader again, then you don't need to do fastboot erase userdata because "factory reset low-level" will perform that once you unlock your bootloader again. So you should be able to flash TWRP, boot fine (only that one time), install whatever ROM you want, flash magisk, and boot (note: on EMUI9, you must reboot to recovery, as boot_ramdisk only exists in EMUI8).
In the past, I have ignored the message "failed to mount '/odm'" and still had success; just pay attention to the status code at the end when you install /system. Don't bother wiping odm, as we really care about mounting /system. Perform a factory reset just to be safe, and feel free to wipe /data, but it won't matter if you already performed a factory-reset (low-level) from unlocking your bootloader again.
Try installing your ROM of choice from TWRP despite this error, flashing magisk, and confirm if that works.

I second that. Magisk installed in boot.img but ROM doesn't recognize root, installing SuperSU says done but no result. Once I got SuperSU to get into stage where it said that boot might take longer and it was recognized but I can't replicate that anymore.

@Darj , did you manage to sort out rooting your Huawei Honor Note 10? I've updated the installation steps to reflect the shortened steps I last took to get Magisk running (downgraded to EMUI8 on my Huawei Honor Note 10 to try to preserve TWRP).
Hopefully, we'll see more ROMS from the OpenKirin project, as the latest security patch is almost a year old on EMUI8.

@ForgottenSolstace not yet. I want to make sure I have all the informations I need before spending money to unlock the bootloader

@Darj , it only costs 15USD to unlock your Huawei Honor Note 10. Why not go ahead and try?
I assure you that the effort is much worth it; Stock ROM is bloated with all kinds of spyware from the Chinese government. When you install AOSP, you can actually secure your phone following the updated instructions which encrypts /data.
Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help
